Could somebody please enlighten me as to how one would go about utilizing 100% of the bevy of high caliber design talent that Facebook has amassed? Facebook products don't change very often, I'm rather curious as what it is they plan to do there.

Prevent them from creating facebook competitors?
They do, subtly. It's only major overhauls that are rare. However, I think they'll be working on mobile apps a fair bit and the subtleties of interaction, since Google+ has grown in leaps and bounds through major design overhauls (both the new app and web interface are very good looking and good to use) and flashy ad campaigns. I guess they're trying to pre-empt the effect the relatively good-looking Facebook had on disgruntled MySpace users jumping ship from over-customised profiles.
